I can give a breakdown of the teams.
Admin and Training: Team is responsible for onboarding new GameMasters, overseeing QC on the player experience side (shops, grounds, messaging, items, etc), the GameHost Program, and various admin tasks. We are currently looking for at least one QC person for this team. Team is led by SGM Isten.
Development: Team is responsible for combat, magic, creatures, treasure, guilds, and functional approvals of items. They handle technical QC of those systems. We are not actively looking for any staff on this team. Team is lead by APM Estild.
Systems: Team is responsible for areas that involve player systems like OSA, player shops, quests (Reim, Trouble Waters), and expanding and creating new tools. It’s also a lot of odds and ends coding, helping out non-coders, and currently bogged down with script QC. We are currently looking for several staff members here. Team is led by SGM Retser.
Subscriptions: Team is responsible for Premium and Platinum. Merchanting, customer service, Premium and Platinum perks, etc. We are currently looking for several staff members here. Team is led by SGM Sleken.
New Player Experience: Team is responsible for redesigning the tutorial and onboarding process to new and returning players. In doing so, they are creating new lore based in a new area of our world. We are not actively looking for any staff on this team. Team is lead by SGM Kaikala.
World: Team is responsible for our towns and cities, CHEs, MHOs, and mentors. There is heavy merchanting, storytelling, festivals, and customer service. We are looking for one or two staff members for this team. Team is led by SGM Galene.
Events: Team is responsible for our 5 paid events for the year, which are currently Duskruin (2x), Rings of Lumnis, Rumor Woods, and Ebon Gate. We are looking for several staff members for this team. Team is led by SGM Thandiwe.
Few things on the teams. We no longer work in “silos” when it comes to cross-production teamwork. You can dabble with projects with other teams, but your team you’re on are your primary tasks. GameMasters work on projects and do not have a direct or constant schedule. Training can be roughly 3 to 6 months depending on how fast you want to get through it. A good idea on time commitment is roughly 60 hours each months We do not have a time requirement, but it’s the best way to explain a measurement for projects. A lot of being a GameMaster requires self-starting drive and the ability to communicate over text. GameMasters receive a comped player account and are compensated a percentage based on a “shares” pool of the gross monthly revenue.
